in Chit-Chat
I'll be heading to Chicago for a girls weekend in 2 weeks... what should I do while I'm there? I've already been to most of the museums and would like to try something a little different... what are some things you like to do/see while you are there? Open to any and all suggestions. Thanks!

    signature lounge on top of the hancock building is always a favorite place of mine to take out of town guests.

    chinatown.

    lincoln park zoo... depending on the weather. hopefully it warms up a bit by then!

    if you are into ghosts, there are amazing ghost tours to look into.

    half acre tap room.

    loads of things to do here! :)

    The haunted tour is pretty good!

    You could do just a regular tour of chicago.

    Sears Tower (of course!)

    Edited: Go to a SOX game.

    Kit Kat Lounge in boystown. You can make reservations and get a party table set. Dinner and two martinis!

    Ed Debevics ALWAYS a good time if you like sassy servers.

    I wonder if it will be nice enough to do an architectural boat ride tour. That is, by far, my most favorite thing to do. It takes off from Navy Pier. You would be able to kill two birds with one stone since you would already be at Navy Pier. :)

    The Water Taxi is running now. Take that to Mich Ave or Chinatown from Ogilvie Station for a nice scenic ride. High tea at the fancy hotels is fun, Millennium Park is great for walking around, some bars along the River Walk are open now, go to Bucktown or River North for a plethora of good restaurants, go to Devon Ave or Korea Town for Asian cuisine, see a show in the Theatre District... message me if you want more info. And have a fun trip!!! :)
